Yes! It's an incredible scripting language! And very powerful once you get used to it. I am a c++ programmer and am learning Ruby and all I wish for is that it would be a faster language. This is one area where C++ is better. And that's it! Its a TRULY object-oriented language (not just oriented it a true objective language, hehe). Everything is an object there, not like in C++, which has also primitive types etc. Even operators are objects, and numbers too. You can do this for example:
8.to_s
which means that you can call methods on numbers, like in this case, where i called "to_s" on the number 8.
The result would be:
"8"
8 as a string, since to_s is a method that converts an object (eight in our case) to string.
If you have a chance learn it! Its very rewarding, and I am saying that as a (still) only student of Ruby :)
Well, whatever you do, you'll have to learn. The easiest way to learn some basics is to use a high level programming language such as, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Python etc.. (very long list).
No. In order to make or use a program or a programming language, you need to know a programming language.
Shell programming can get you only so far; after that you need to use another programming language (possibly even another scripting language) to get the job done. Shell programming is designed to work with the system interface and to help automate tasks; it isn't good for everything.
We have many programming languages because no one language is perfect. Some are very good at some very specific things, but are horrible for others. When we are presented with a problem, we have a large set of programming languages in which to find an appropriate language to use.
Programming, mainly.
No, it is a programming language.
For is it programming used.
c++
In computer-programming.
Java
Assembly language uses a low-level programming language that directly corresponds to machine code instructions.
java is the language used in computer networking.
